I am excited to share that we will be promoting a global snapshot of biodiversity as part of National Geographic's Great Nature Project from May 15-25, 2015. The goal is to motivate people to explore biodiversity wherever they are in order to document as many species as possible.

Anything observed between May 15 00:00:00 and May 25 23:23:59 (your local time) will automatically count towards the global snapshot. The newly created global snapshot project is essentially a worldwide bioblitz. This is just like any other “bioblitz” type project on iNaturalist, except the spatial boundaries are planet earth.

If you're interested in helping spread the word, we’ve created a toolkit with pdfs of flyers, banners, postcards, and a guide explaining how to use the resources (toolkit on Google Drive).

In the meantime, keep exploring and sharing your photos of biodiversity with the Great Nature Project!
